FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 245,509, dated August 9, 1881.

Application filed J une 2, 1881.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Beitknownthatwe,J.KIENzYandOHARLEs F. DAVIS, ofBridgeport, Fairfield county, Connecticut, have invented anew and Improved Faucet, of which the following is a specification.

The invention consists in a tube bent downward at the 'outer end, and provided at its inner end with a valve-seat, on which a valve fits, attached to a screw-spindle contained in a cylindrical inclined arm of the main tube; and it further consists in providing this spindle or stem with a longitudinal perforation, the inner end of which perforation is closed by a spring-valve, which is opened by striking against a projection or shoulder when the faucet is closed, thus permitting air to pass into the faucet to facilitate the flow of the liquid remaining in the faucet from the same.

In the drawing a longitudinal sectional eleation of our improved faucet is shown.

The tube or cylinder A is provided with a head or button, B, at the front end, and with a downward tubular projection, C, a short distance back of this head. The tube A is further provided with a valve-seat, D, near the inner or rear end, and on this valve-seat a plug near the lower end of the stem and is closed by a valve, K, pressed against the spindle by a spring, L. The tubular arm Gr is provided with a shoulder, M, at about the middle of its upper inner surface.

The operation is as follows: By turning the (N0 model.)

as indicated by the arrow 1), thus causingthe liquid remaining in the front part of the faucet to flow out much more rapidly. As'soon as the faucet is opened the valve K is released and the spring L closes it, thus preventing the liquid from passing up through the perforation J of the'spindle F.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a faucet, the combination, with the tube A, provided with a valve-seat, D, near the inner end, of the plug or valve E, and of the spindle F, contained in an inclined tubular arm, G, of the tube A, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth. I

In a faucet, the combination, with the tube A, provided with a valve-seat, D, near the inner end of the valve or plug E, of the longitudinally-perforated stem or spindle F, contained in an inclined tubular arm, G, provided with a shoulder, M, and the spring-valve K on the spindle F, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
